PROLOG
       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface
       may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface
       may not be implemented on Linux.


NAME
       nearbyint, nearbyintf, nearbyintl — floating-point rounding functions


SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>

       double nearbyint(double x);
       float nearbyintf(float x);
       long double nearbyintl(long double x);


DESCRIPTION
       The  functionality  described  on  this  reference  page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict
       between the requirements described  here  and  the  ISO C  standard  is  unintentional.  This  volume  of
       POSIX.1‐2008 defers to the ISO C standard.

       These  functions  shall  round  their  argument  to  an integer value in floating-point format, using the
       current rounding direction and without raising the inexact floating-point exception.


RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the rounded integer  value.   The  result  shall
       have the same sign as x.

       If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.

       If x is ±0, ±0 shall be returned.

       If x is ±Inf, x shall be returned.


ERRORS
       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.


EXAMPLES
       None.


APPLICATION USAGE
       The  integral value returned by these functions need not be expressible as an intmax_t.  The return value
       should be tested before assigning it to an integer type to avoid the  undefined  results  of  an  integer
       overflow.


RATIONALE
       None.


FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
